Show Notes
Lewis said that before he was six years old, he was "a votary of the Blue Flower". The Blue Flower symbolized a life-long longing, "an unsatisfied desire which is itself more desirable than any other satisfaction". Lewis used this idea in Mere Christianity to build The Argument From Desire, which Joe Heshmeyer discusses on today's show as part of "Apologetics Month".
